His most recent charge was in 2009 for "inciting subversion of state power" The govenment was scared of his "dangerous" Democtatic ideas and thought he was trying to overthrow the government by means of a civillian uprising. He wasn't even allowed to recieve his Nobel Piece Prize, which he won for his "dangerous and illegal" behavior.
8 Xiaobo didn't break any specific laws per say but the Chinese government claim he was again "inciting subversion of state power" which is almost like a breach of peace, even though he was preaching peace. The athourities took him in for a "suspicious gathering" along with Zhang Zuhua another scholar. They both were accused of attempting to overthrow the government. Liu was kept in solitary confinement. and barred from any communication with lawyers.
9 Liu Xiaobo was trying to preach peace, and like so many before him, he was persecuted wrongly. Even though he was jailed, I would consider him sucsessful. He gained a lot of followers and was able to preach his message before he was arrested. I believe a lot of people will follow in his footsteps.
Zhou Duo, Liu Xiaobo, Hou Derchien and Gao Xin during a hunger strike at Tian'anmen Square, Beijing, 2 June 1989. DOMP 11- Non- Beijing residences can not reside in Beijing prisons due to laws in china. Convicted criminals whose household's are elsewhere in china are held in a special detention center until it is chosen where they are to serve out the remainder of their sentence, normally it is in there hometown. The verdict in Liu Xiabo’s case had shown, despite having lived as a Beijing citizen for years, that people were still required to be sent to the prisons of there hometowns, no madder when they live, (for Liu, Liaoning). His status in Beijing could be considered as a temporary place.This is the excuse for the Chinese government to allow him to spend his six month surveillance period in Beijing, even though it is still against Beijing law. Under these circumstances, we Liu Xiabo's sentence should be held out in Liaoning prison. 12- Liu Xiabo's irrational imprisonment in Beijing has had a lot of effect on people during the years. obviously it has brought up a lot of controversy throughout the people of the world, especially of those in Beijing. Xiabo was technically a criminal in the eyes of Beijing, and according to them he did not deserve to represent them, therefore he was arrested before given the opportunity to claim the Nobel piece prize. A lot of people believe that he should be set free from jail, and it sets up much more problems with his people. 15- Why was Liu Xiabo arrested under the Chinese government? Where is Liu Xiabo supposed to be held in prison?

In Thoreau's essay, Civil Disobedience, there is a part where he talks about how we should deal with the injustice our government surrounds us with. He states, "Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also prison." Liu Xiaobo, who was incarcerated on an eleven-year jail sentence for subversion charges in China, is the prime example of this quote. He was arrested for acting out against his one-party Communist government that he viewed as injust, not with violence, but with written words. His rebelllion was one of peaceful measures; he did not do anything to put anyone in harm's way. Instead, he participated in a sort of peaceful protest in which he voiced his ides, and was jailed for them. In addition, it is not as if his ideas would have presented any actual danger. He merely presented the ideas of Democracy rather than Communism, but to those of the Communism he was going against, he was acting out against the government. In Thoreau's eyes, this man would have been imprisoned unjustly. After all, Liu Xiaobo was merely voicing, or rather writing and therefore spreading, his opinion for the rights of the people. His government still viewed this act as unlawful, further proving that he had been imprisoned unjustly. With such circumstances, as Thoreau states, the proper place for Liu Xiaobo would be prison.
3. Liu Xiaobo was born in Changchun of the Jilin Province in China on December 28, 1955. I could not discover the identity of his parents, possibly due to the restrictions of the Chinese government. After attending middle school, Liu Xiaobo went to the countryside where he took to farming. Later he became a worker at a construction company in Changchun City. In 1977, he began his college career by being admitted to the Department of Chinese Literature at Jilin University. While enrolled here, he helpd form a poetry group with six of his schoolmates called The Innocent Hearts. He then graduated with a Bachelors degree in literature in 1982. From here, Liu Xiaobo went to Bejing Normal University where he became a research student in the same department. For his early writings he was nicknamed the "dark horse." In 1988, he got his Ph.D. in literature and continued to study abroad in places such as the University of Oslo, the University of Hawaii, and Columbia University in New York City. In 1989, Liu Xiaobo helped to keep more peace than would have otherwise been acheived at Tiananmen Square with the Tiananmen Four Gentlemen Hunger Strike and attempts at negotiations between the students protesting there and the Chinese government, even though he was arrested a few days later for his part in the incident. He has written several controversial pieces, including Criticism of Choice: Dialogues with Li Zehou, Aesthetic and Human Freedom, The Fog of Metaphysics, Going Naked Toward God, Mysteries of Thought and Dreams of Mankind, The Monologues of a Doomsday's Survivor, and Charter 08. He was most recently sentenced to 11 years in prison for co-writing Charter 08, which spoke out for democracy in the place of Communism. Because of this sentence, he was not allowed to receive the Nobel Peace Prize he was awarded in 2010.
